As we emerge from the isolation of the pandemic, freshly vaccinated and eager to enjoy the warmer weather, it’s easy to see why folks might be thirsty for human touch.
Let’s face it, there are some horny folks out there ready to mingle.
Well, the folks at Lawnstarter decided to rank the 200 largest U.S. cities from horniest to least horny based on an overall score averaged across several weighted metrics.
Among those key metrics were: Google searches for Adult Entertainment, access to live Adult Entertainment venues, access to Adult Stores and sex toy sales, sex partner potential, and ‘unprotected sexual activity’ measured by STDs per 100,000 residents.
Where does your city fall on this spicy list?
It may not come as a surprise that Paradise, Nevada, comes in at the top of the list. Paradise is actually the unincorporated town where the most well-known part of ‘Sin City,’ the Las Vegas Strip, lies.
With more sex shops and adult entertainment venues than any other place in the U.S., it’s no wonder Paradise scores the number one spot.
Coming in just behind in the number two and three spots are Orange, California, and Hollywood, Florida. Both clearly have lots of opportunities to enjoy sunshine, sand, bare skin and sweat.
Providence, Rhode Island, scores high in fourth place thanks to ranking #1 in sex toy sales. The number crunchers also note that Providence is a gay mecca, so factor that as you wish.
Top 10 Horniest Cities:
1 Paradise, NV
2 Orange, CA
3 Hollywood, FL
4 Providence, RI
5 Atlanta, GA
6 Fort Lauderdale, FL
7 Newark, NJ
8 Dayton, OH
9 Tempe, AZ
10 Baltimore, MD
On the other end of the spectrum, 7 of the 10 least horny cities are in Texas. That includes Plano at #194, Frisco at a not-so-frisky #199, and Midland at – drumroll please – #200.
The stats peeps believe politics might have something to do with the low rankings. They point to Match.com’s recent Singles in America report which indicated 76% of singles need their partner to share their political views. Considering the Lone Star state saw its battleground politics roiling last year, maybe a lot of folks wanted to chill with Netflix alone.
Jackson, Mississippi, which came in 150th overall, garnered the dubious distinction of contracting the most STDs (stats via Innerbody). In fact, 17 of the Top 25 on that list are southern cities.
Bottom 10 Least Horny Cities:

And remember to celebrate National Sex Day on June 9!
while I was married, I turned women down fairly often because was very happily married. Now that I am a widower, the girls don’t seem to be interested.
